Overview

""Political and Industrial Democracy 1776-1926"" provides a comprehensive historical analysis of the evolution of democratic ideals within both the political and industrial spheres of the United States. W. Jett Lauck traces the development of democratic thought from the era of the American Revolution through the post-World War I period, examining how the principles of self-governance transitioned from purely civic institutions to the complexities of the modern industrial workplace. The work explores the struggles for workers' representation, the rise of organized labor, and the philosophical quest for an economic system that mirrors the democratic values of the nation's founders. By documenting a century and a half of progress and social conflict, Lauck offers a profound look at the intersection of labor, industry, and government policy. This scholarly examination serves as a vital resource for understanding the foundations of industrial relations and the historical efforts to harmonize corporate power with democratic accountability. It remains an essential text for readers interested in the history of labor rights and the long-standing efforts to secure democratic participation within the American economic landscape.
